This mod greatly increases traffic density in major urban areas, these areas being defined as the San Diego - Los Angeles corridor, San Francisco bay area, Sacramento, Reno, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque, Portland and Seattle; traffic elsewhere is kept to vanilla levels, which I think is realistic enough.
(For compability with traffic spawn mods simply open the mod with a file archiver (7-Zip, WinRAR, ...), open the "def" folder and delete "traffic_data.sii" and "traffic_rules_spawn.sui" inside its "world" folder)
It also includes many changes I've been making trying to portray some places more accurately, these changes detailed below:
•I-5 widened to 2x4 from San Diego to just north of Los Angeles (originally a mix of 2x2 and 2x3)
•I-5 narrowed to 2x2 from Sacramento to Redding (originally 2x3)
•I-10 widened to 2x4 from Los Angeles to Palm Springs (originally 2x3 and 2x2)
•I-10 widened to 2x4 In the Phoenix region (originally 2x3 and 2x2)
•US 101 widened to 2x4 in the Bay Area and near Los Angeles (originally 2x2 and 2x3 respectively)
•I-580 (the California one) widened to 2x4 from the I-5 junction to Richmond (originally 2x2)
•I-80 widened to 2x4 from Richmond to SR37 and 2x3 up to Sacramento (originally 2x2)
•CA-99 widened to 2x3 near Bakersfield and 2x4 in Bakersfield (originally 2x2)
•Signage overhaul in California, including US-101 and I-5 south of San Francisco and I-15.
•Areas near Los Angeles, the SF Bay area and Sacramento more "urbanized"
•Downtown Los Angeles remodeled.
Some before-and-after images showing the changes done:
I-580 in Oakland
US 101 in the Bay Area
I-5 in Los Angeles
I-10 in Los Angeles
I-5 in the San Fernando Valley
I-5 in Orange County
Should be compatible with other map mods as long as you put them in higher priority, I've never tested though.

•Custom building models in Los Angeles lack night lighting and look extremely bright at night.
•Crashes around Reno and Stockton while using Sierra Nevada - please use the compatibility patch linked in this thread.
•Map unloads (fall through ground glitch) in South California while using PazzMod with the compatibility patch - make sure you're using the latest version of the mod.
